About
SpaceBolt allows engineers to verify thousands of bolted joints under space environments with only a few clicks, and was positively evaluated by ESA in a six-month process. It is a modular software, with customers paying only for the features needed. Key features include standards-compliant calculation procedures, simple handling of large datasets via multiple bolt groups and an Excel interface for thousands of joints per session, direct import of FEA results from NASTRAN .PCH files and plain CSV covering statics, sine, and random loads with thousands of load cases processed in seconds, a user-friendly GUI, automatic report-ready HTML output, database functionality for bolts, nuts, inserts, material and friction coefficients, and output for fracture analysis in NASGRO format.
